Congressional candidate Jeff Gorell will be visiting Fillmore again on Sunday, September 28, 2014 as a part of a continuing effort to reach out to voters in our community. Sunday’s main event will be a free, city-wide BBQ/Rally which will take place from noon to 2:00 p.m. in front of City Hall. The event is open to all Fillmore residents and their families. This will be a great opportunity to meet Jeff and enjoy great food and fellowship.

Jeff Gorell will begin the day with a coffee meeting for our agricultural/farming community at Wm L. Morris Café from 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a. m. After the midday BBQ, he will visit the residents of the El Dorado Mobile Home Estates for an ice cream social from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and finish up the day speaking to residents at an invitation-only meet & greet at a Fillmore residence.

“We deserve a congressional representative who will focus on uniting the community by placing people above party,” said Jeff Gorell. “We need real leadership to fix the broken system in Washington. I have worked hard to build a reputation for being an independent leader capable of working with members in all political parties to achieve results on the issues Ventura County voters care about.”
